If you have legally changed your name, you will need to obtain a duplicate or renewal license, depending on the status of your current license. You can obtain a duplicate or renewal license at any Driver’s License Office.

You must present your current driver's license and a certified marriage certificate, a certified divorce or dissolution of marriage decree specifying the name change or other certified court order specifying the name change.
